Leaving home
Jul. 8th, 2005 09:55 amThe completed manuscript for THE FIRST BETRAYAL should arrive at Bantam today, a mere 8 days behind schedule :-)
Like a parent with a child leaving home for the first time, it's a mix of pride and anxiety, wondering if this child is ready to face the world.
Busy couple of days coming up, as I sort through the gear for the bike trip, and try to decide what I need and what I can do without. Also need to go through my TBR stack to decide which books will come with me.
Reading: Finished CURSE THE DARK by Laura Anne Gilman, the second book in her Retrievers series. Much of the book takes places during a heat wave in New York, which gave it a certain resonance during the record heat.
